Story

I have loved the story of Scheherazade for as long as I can remember. The desire for the fame and fortune of a crown has been the impetus for many evil deeds. Such power wields its own price, including a very real and insular loneliness that manifests from being personally invisible behind the visibility of the position.

Lyrics

Spin me a tale for your life And make me believe again Take me away from this farce Of monstrous and kingly vice

How I want you to love me To love me unbound How I want you to need me To need me unfound Beneath your fabled sun And your scorpion moon I need you to want me Beyond this savage world of sand

How I want you to love me To love me unbound How I want you to need me To need me unfound Beneath your fabled sun And your scorpion moon I need you to want me Beyond this savage world of sand

Oh thousand nights forgive this murderous pride That morning betrays Oh maybe my life will be redeemed to know To know

To know that you love me You love me unbound To know that you need me You need me unfound How I want you to love me To love me unbound How I want you to need me To need me unfound Beneath your fabled sun And your scorpion moon I need you to want me As much as I want you.
